If those serial killers have ordinary-sounding and common names, which lots of them do.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

True. The only one that sticks in my throat is the wife - Primrose! - of a notorious doctor in the UK who used to murder his elderly female patients, go through their possessions, steal their jewellery and take it home to Primrose, who didn't hesitate to wear it. But, I'd never in my right mind name anybody Primrose in the first place. Maybe a hamster.
I agree, Primrose is gross. I wouldn't even name a hamster that. (I wouldn't name a hamster anything, because I don't like them at all.)
Most serial killers are really only disstinctive name-wise when it comes to their last names anyway.
